Liquid i'ncmbcr 3 bus :1 bottom member it secured discharged from the receptacle by pros sing "Hil bottle of any hcight that in its bottom position its rim or I upwardly on the stem 11 and thereby lift. ingthe cup. The movement is limited by contact of the cup with the inner surface of member 6. When the cup is lifted a portion of the outlet member 7 enters the chamber or Well in the cup and displaces its own wieme of liquid therefrom, which liquid asses up between the cup and outlet member l and flows down between the cup and holder and through the discharge opening at" the bottom of the holder. I

In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the conduit 5 is connected to the side of the hollow member 3 and to the top of the outlet member 7, but the arrangement of this conduit, if such a conduit is used, is iminaterial. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement where the conduit 5 is connected to the bottom 4 of hollow member 3 and enters the outlet member 7 at one side. Said outlet member has a top 6 to which the holder 9" is secured and is provided with an inner dc-- pending annular wall 7 which forms the effective outlet member .for coiiperation with the cup. The cup 10 surrounds the outlet member 7" and cooperates therewith to cause the discharge ofliquid, from the re ceptacle.

In the form shown in s the conduit 5 is connected to the bottom. i of the hollow member 3, as in Fig. 3, and opens into the top of the outlet member 7, as in Fig. 1. In Fig. 5 the conduit 5 connected. to the hollow member 3 in the manner shown in Fig. l and its connection to the outlet mom-- her is of the same-type shown in Fig. 3.

In Fig. 6 the conduit 5* onnccted to the hollow member 3 and the outlet member 7 in the same manner shown. in 5, the only difference between these two forms be ing that conduit 5 is curved or bent so that the outlet member 7 a is at a lower level than member 3, while the conduit- 5 is straight, so that the outlet 7 and holder member 3 are on about the same level.

In all. the forms described the dispensing device may be provided with a sleeve, 12 and set screw 13 for rotatably mounting it upon I a bracket as above described.

cured to the bracket '32,

Fig. 7 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the holder for the cup an integral part with or is rigidly secured. to a bracket 32, which may be secured to a suitable support, as by screws 15, 15". In the form shown the bracket has a frusto conical upper portion to receive the recentacle l, which. is shown'asa glass bottle with a conical wall. Bottle 1 may be sebut preferably merely rests loosely thereon. The depending neck of the bottle has a bottom outlet opening and is surrounded by the cup 10", which vforms a liquid seal the outlet. Said cup is supportedby an am ular ledge and may be raised bygpressiu wsdlyon e stem 11 which projects from an opening in the cup holding member. A

17 indicates a valve member having a portion lying within the bottle and arranged down to the constricted mouth and closethe bottle. When the bottle is placed in the holder as shown in Fig. 7 the stem of the valve 17 strikes the bottom of the cup .0? before the bottle seats, so that the liquid will flow from the bottle into the cup. The operation of this form of device is the same tial difl'erence being that the cup surrounds the neck of the bottle itself, instead. of a part secured thereto or a continuation thereof.

To fill the receptacle shown in Figs. 1 to G the set screw 13 is loosened and the entire device is inverted on the bracket 14. Holder 9 and cup 10 are then removed and the liquid is poured into the mouth of member 7. The cup and bolder are then replaced and the device restored to initial position. in Fig. 7 the bottle is merely lifted out of the holder, filled and replaced.

inexpensive. may be used for dispensing" any kind of liquid. The details of construction may be varied within. wide limits and the invention is "susceptible of considerable modification within the scope of the claims hereinafter, without do; spi sacrificing any of hat I claim is:

A liquid dispensing apparatus, comprising a receptacle having a neck formed with a discharge orifice, a cup surrounding said neck and having liquid is discharged from said orifice, a holder for said cup provided with an annular supporting shoulder, and means on said cup engaging said shoulder for normally preventing removal of the cup :Ezom the holder.

A liquid dispensing apparatus, wenprising a receptacle having a nec fiormed with a discharge orifice, a. cup surrounding; said neck and having a well into which liquid is discharged from said orifice, a holder for lar supporting shoulder, means on said cup engaging said shoulder for normally preventir removal of the cup from the holder. and interengagmg parts on said holder and cup for guiding the latter during its move rnent.

A liquid dispensing apparatus, comprising a receptacle having a bottom neck formed with a. discharge orifice, a holder rigidly secured to said receptacle and dc; pending below the end oi said neck, and a cup supported at the lower end of said holder and. surroundin" said neck and a1 ranged to form a liqui seal there. .th, cup being. movable with relation to said when the bottle is filled and inverted to drop I The entire device is simple, sanitary and.
